The incident took place on Sunday evening when a masked "terrorist", with a rifle in hand, entered the crowded Swaminarayan Temple and held a man at gunpoint.
A video of a man slapping an armed "terrorist" at a crowded temple in Maharashtra's Dhule district is going viral on social media. However, the short clip is not making rounds on the internet for the man's courage but for the final outcome when the identity of the "terrorist" is revealed.
The incident took place on Sunday evening when a masked "terrorist", with a rifle in hand, entered the crowded Swaminarayan Temple and held a man at gunpoint. His sudden appearance caused panic among the visitors and left women and children terrified. It was later revealed that the entire act was a mock police drill.
But an unaware Prashant Kulkarni, dressed in trousers and shirt, approached the "terrorist" holding a gun to the head of another person kneeling down. He apparently got angry after his daughter started crying.
